TAGC 2020 Live
TAGC 2020 Live
Meet face-to-face with the yeast research community at TAGC 2020! The meeting’s unique format offers multiple opportunities for you to share your work, learn about the latest research and tools, build community, and recruit newcomers to the field. Catch up with colleagues at the opening night yeast community mixer and at designated community meeting spots throughout the meeting. We’ll make it easy to spot your people and posters via signage and badges.
Abstracts due early!
Do you normally attend the Yeast Genetics Meeting? TAGC incorporates this meeting for 2020. Because TAGC takes place in April 2020, you’ll need to be ready to submit your abstract earlier than you may be used to. Be sure to submit by December 13, 2019 to be considered for a talk in either the Yeast Sessions or the Thematic Sessions.
What’s the hashtag?
The conference hashtag is #TAGC20. Use the #Yeast20 community-specific hashtag alongside #TAGC20 to allow everyone to follow along!

If you submit an abstract, it will be reviewed and scheduled in one of three types of sessions:
Poster and Thematic Sessions will feature research from all communities, while Yeast Community Sessions will be dedicated to the latest yeast research.
When it comes to attending talks, you won’t be forced to choose between yeast and your favorite topic; Community Sessions and Thematic Sessions are held at different times, so there will be no need to miss out.
